00:00:00And the Oscar goes to Daniel Johnson for his original screenplay, Loving Her.
00:00:08That loser actually won an Oscar?
00:00:11Who knew the house hubby had it in him? I'm an industry joke now.
00:00:15Daniel, is it true that the script that won you Oscars for both writing and directing sat on a shelf for 10 years?
00:00:21Wow, you did your homework. Yes, I got sidelined for a little bit, but I think I found my way back.
00:00:26Um, I will tell you this. I don't think you can truly love others until you truly love yourself.
00:00:34Daniel really did it. The one standing by his side isn't me anymore.
00:00:39You think you can divorce America's sweetheart? You're nothing but a fucking house husband, Daniel.
00:00:45Our contract expired. I'm only telling you because you're her manager.
00:00:49If you try and divorce my daughter, you will end up with nothing. The mansion, the money, even your own son will belong to her.
00:00:56I'll always love my son. But he's a bully, and he learned it from the best in the business, his grandmother.
00:01:04You used to worship Sabrina. What happened?
00:01:07That was a long time ago.
00:01:09America's sweetheart, Sabrina Donovan, attempts suicide.
00:01:13All for her co-star and Hollywood's golden boy, Preston Eastwood.
00:01:16But her career's hanging by a thread. I need to get those paparazzi off her back.
00:01:22You've always loved her, Daniel. I've seen it. She needs that now. Stay. Marry her. Love her. So that she doesn't face the world alone.
00:01:34I might not have been Sabrina's first love, but I would be her last. And I'd cherish her like no other man would.
00:01:41It pressed Denise was really back. And maybe the last ten years meant more to me than they ever did to her.
00:01:47This was the last one.
00:01:51Mom, Daniel.
00:01:54What's going on?
00:01:55What's going on?
00:02:00Honey!
00:02:01I was just telling Daniel he needs to stop dressing like a bum.
00:02:06If the paparazzi catch him next to you, oh!
00:02:09But I need to go. I have an appointment with your stylist.
00:02:14Think about it, Daniel.
00:02:18Once Sabrina signs the divorce petition, the 30-day waiting period starts.
00:02:23Then I will be free.
00:02:25Sabrina, we need to talk.
00:02:27Ugh, can it wait? I'm seriously so spent.
00:02:31I had the photo shoot and fitting and cocktails with girls.
00:02:35I saw it. Preston was there.
00:02:38I mean, he got us our first movie deal right out of college. I mean, we owe him.
00:02:43Yeah, and then he cheated on you. And I'm the one who picked up the pieces.
00:02:47I'm starving. When are we eating?
00:02:49Lunch is on the stove.
00:02:51But first, your mother and I need to talk.
00:02:53No! I want to eat now!
00:02:56You always know the spot.
00:03:08He doesn't listen.
00:03:09Daniel, please. I had a migraine all day from the flashing bulbs that got off of Vanity Fair shoot.
00:03:16I got something I need to tell you. I'll make it quick. This isn't easy, but I know...
00:03:23Ew! What is this?
00:03:25It's mom's vegetable and quinoa stew.
00:03:26I don't want healthy food. I want chicken nuggets! Chicken nuggets, chicken nuggets!
00:03:30You can't have that every day. It's not healthy for you.
00:03:34But I want them!
00:03:36Jackson, when I say no, I mean no.
00:03:40You suck! I want chicken nuggets! Give me chicken nuggets!
00:03:44I waited. I gave it everything I had.
00:03:55But it takes two to make a marriage work.
00:03:58And my self-absorbed wife would rather be with the man that almost ruined her life than me.
00:04:04Enough. Just enough.
00:04:06I want a divorce.
00:04:13I want a divorce.
00:04:19Sabrina, did you hear me?
00:04:22Huh?
00:04:24I want a...
00:04:27I want chicken nuggets! Give me chicken nuggets!
00:04:30Jackson, honey, you need to listen to your father, okay?
00:04:34Now go upstairs, get cleaned up. We'll get you some real food.
00:04:42Seriously?
00:04:43Your only job is to take care of the house and the family.
00:04:47I mean, it's not that hard.
00:04:49What is this?
00:04:51Another contract?
00:04:52How big is the role?
00:04:55Who's directing?
00:04:56It's not a...
00:04:57Whatever. My mom will look over it anyways.
00:04:59Hard to believe I can't even get her to care about this.
00:05:02Honestly, I am really at my capacity.
00:05:05I have that red carpet event coming up, and I really need you to pull your weight.
00:05:10Pull my weight?
00:05:12Yeah, you get it.
00:05:15Mwah! Love you.
00:05:17I've devoted myself to this family for ten long years.
00:05:20If that wasn't enough, then this is the only option.
00:05:23Just wait until she realizes what life's like without me.
00:05:33The movie's Greenland, and the studio wants you to direct.
00:05:36We need you on a plane to Australia tomorrow.
00:05:38I can't.
00:05:39My wife needs me here in L.A.
00:05:41After all I've sacrificed, my scripts, my career, my future, all pushed aside.
00:05:49At least there is one good thing to come from this.
00:05:52I was able to use the money Celeste gave me to save my mother's life.
00:05:56Hey, Mom. How you doing?
00:05:57Oh, good, dear.
00:05:59I just noticed that you transfer more money to my account.
00:06:03Do you need more?
00:06:04No, no, no, no. You've already done so much.
00:06:07I'm just trying to help.
00:06:08I know, but I never wanted my cancer to be your battle.
00:06:13I can't thank you enough for everything that you've done, but it's time you lived your life.
00:06:21I am, Mom.
00:06:23And I promise, very soon, everything's going to change.
00:06:30You're wonderful, dear.
00:06:32You deserve more than what they put you through.
00:06:34Everyone, come quick, come quick!
00:06:36I gotta go. Love you.
00:06:38What is it, Mom?
00:06:42Someone very special decided to pay us a visit.
00:06:45Our favorite leading man.
00:06:47Come on.
00:06:53Preston Eastwood, the man that broke my wife's heart
00:06:56and is stealing it back again.
00:07:01Preston Eastwood, the man that broke my wife's heart.
00:07:04All right, cut.
00:07:12That's a wrap, everyone.
00:07:14We got our start on the set of Breaking the Ice.
00:07:18Sabrina was a rising star.
00:07:20I was just the director's assistant.
00:07:24Our future's ahead of us.
00:07:26If only she didn't fall for Hollywood's golden asshole.
00:07:31If only she didn't fall for Hollywood's golden asshole.
00:07:31My family was so old, but that's so.
00:07:33Anna, we have to give her the five years to finish.
00:07:43But she didn't fall for her to return to the Grace.
00:07:51And...
00:07:52I...
00:07:53I...
00:07:54Goodbye.
00:07:55I...
00:07:56Io.
00:07:56I...
00:07:56I...
00:07:57I...
00:07:57You destroyed me, Preston.
00:08:05There's nothing left.
00:08:19Sabrina, don't!
00:08:22Stay back.
00:08:23I mean it.
00:08:25Sabrina, don't do this.
00:08:28Just...
00:08:29Just give me your hand.
00:08:44No!
00:08:46Daniel!
00:08:48I got you.
00:08:49No!
00:08:50Don't let me go!
00:08:52I won't ever let you go.
00:08:57I'm so alone, Daniel.
00:09:02Nobody sees the real me.
00:09:04I see you, Sabrina.
00:09:06I see all of you.
00:09:08And you're never going to be alone again.
00:09:10Good to see you.
00:09:19Oh my gosh, how long has it been?
00:09:21Oh, too long.
00:09:21Look at you!
00:09:23Oh, I'm so glad you could make it to my little slice in the Hollywood Hills.
00:09:26Yeah, of course, babe.
00:09:28Thank you for letting me stay here for a little bit.
00:09:29Are you kidding?
00:09:30Oh, Daniel, Preston's going to stay with us for a bit, but you don't mind, right?
00:09:34Oh, there he is!
00:09:36The assistant!
00:09:37I'll tell you what, there's no one who grabs coffee quite like this guy.
00:09:41How did someone like you end up with a blonde bombshell like my Sabrina?
00:09:45Stop!
00:09:47I can't believe my wife would invite the ex she tried to kill herself over into our home.
00:09:53Sabrina, I don't remember agreeing to having him stay over.
00:09:56Daniel!
00:09:57Oh.
00:09:57Don't embarrass me.
00:09:58No, it's fine.
00:09:59Whoa, you played Brett Stale in your action spy movie?
00:10:04He's not just tough, he's Brett Stale tough, you think, you know?
00:10:08My friends are, but my dad doesn't let me watch it.
00:10:10He doesn't let me do anything.
00:10:12Now that I'm here, we'll be able to bend some of dad's rules.
00:10:15What are you saying, huh?
00:10:17Yeah.
00:10:17Sabrina, I think it's time he leaves.
00:10:21It's fine.
00:10:23It's fine.
00:10:24Just relax, okay?
00:10:26Be nice.
00:10:35Some people never change, but once our divorce is finalized, I won't be there to save her
00:10:41when he breaks her heart again.
00:10:44Yeah, it's nice, but this mansion is still the second most stunning thing on this hill.
00:10:48Ah.
00:10:48Oh, careful.
00:10:57You all right?
00:11:00I'm still starving.
00:11:02Make me some food.
00:11:04Jackson, there's leftover stew in the fridge.
00:11:06Stew?
00:11:08Ew.
00:11:08What is this, a soup kitchen?
00:11:10I told you a hundred times, I want chicken nuggets!
00:11:13Daniel, if the kid wants nuggets, just give him nuggets.
00:11:16I'm trying to teach my son how to be grateful for what he already has.
00:11:20Daniel, I'm a billionaire.
00:11:23Oh, babe.
00:11:24For real?
00:11:25Yeah, my makeup line took me all the way to the top.
00:11:29Donovan Cosmetics.
00:11:31I'm rich.
00:11:33Which means we don't have to be grateful.
00:11:36I mean, that's just something poor people tell themselves so that they're happy with nothing.
00:11:41See, Daniel, that was always your problem.
00:11:42You're so caught up on the morals.
00:11:44You realize that's why no one bought your scripts.
00:11:46They were so dull.
00:11:47Please, Mr. Eastwood, my dad won't let me have anything!
00:11:50Lucky for you, Uncle Preston is a little bit of a rebel.
00:11:55So, how about we go to an exclusive restaurant?
00:11:58My treat.
00:12:00Here we go.
00:12:01What to do?
00:12:02Oh, you don't have to do that.
00:12:03I don't mind.
00:12:05All of you insist.
00:12:06I mean, I'm already dressed, so.
00:12:09Okay.
00:12:11Oh, and I wouldn't bite you, Daniel, but there's a little bit of a dress code, so.
00:12:16Anyways, come on, Ben, let's go.
00:12:18Oh, that's great.
00:12:20Gotcha.
00:12:20Here we go.
00:12:22Oh, there's Paps.
00:12:25You don't have to come, Daniel.
00:12:27Last time.
00:12:28I promise.
00:12:31You're right.
00:12:32It is the last time.
00:12:35Hey, guys.
00:12:38Hi.
00:12:39Jackson.
00:12:39Well, did you use your brain, or are you following through on the divorce?
00:12:49Contract's fine.
00:12:52It's over.
00:12:54Why don't you meet me at the Oaks to finalize the paperwork?
00:12:57I hope you're ready to go on without a penny to your name.
00:13:01After 10 years of heartbreak, I don't care if I walk away with nothing.
00:13:04Why would Celeste invite me here?
00:13:24She must have known this is where they were going for dinner.
00:13:26Sabrina Donovan?
00:13:30I could scream.
00:13:31I'm literally obsessed with you.
00:13:33Preston Eastwood, I haven't seen the two of you together since Breaking the Ice.
00:13:37OMG, I used to always replay that scene where you guys kiss at the hockey rink.
00:13:41A scene that I wrote, uncredited, of course.
00:13:43Even my success is shadowed by her fame.
00:13:46Wait, are you two dating?
00:13:47Oh, well, actually, it's totally a date.
00:13:50All these years, I couldn't even be seen with her in public.
00:13:58Do you mind just giving me a little space?
00:14:01You're not really a part of my brand.
00:14:03Your brand?
00:14:04It's just, it's not a good look for me.
00:14:07You get it, right?
00:14:16So, you two are a thing?
00:14:18Well, I...
00:14:19Oh, it's okay, babe.
00:14:20We don't have to lie to our biggest fans.
00:14:31This is so going viral.
00:14:32I can't believe you guys are dating.
00:14:34It looks like more than dating.
00:14:36Is this your son?
00:14:37I wish I was his son, Jackson.
00:14:40Don't be silly.
00:14:42You have a dad, and he's a sissy.
00:14:44That's what all the boys at school say.
00:14:46She does girly stuff like cook and clean.
00:14:49But Preston is awesome.
00:14:52He's an action spy.
00:14:54I wish he was my dad.
00:14:57My own son doesn't respect me.
00:14:59But we'll see if Preston's the type of dad he wants when he comes home coked out from a Hollywood afterparty with a call girl.
00:15:05It's okay, buddy.
00:15:06Every spy needs a partner in crime.
00:15:08If you want me around, I'm in.
00:15:11That is if mom's school is it.
00:15:14Oh, Preston, I don't know.
00:15:15Daniel, he, you know, he's...
00:15:18Preston, what are you doing?
00:15:18Come on.
00:15:22Let's get Michelle.
00:15:23Now that's a Hollywood couple.
00:15:41I told you this divorce was a mistake.
00:15:46Sabrina will end up on top, and you will end up with nothing.
00:15:53Daniel!
00:15:53You know, it's probably for the best.
00:15:57From the sound of it, your own son doesn't even want to be around you.
00:16:01Daniel, he's here?
00:16:02He...
00:16:02Did he see us?
00:16:03Is he looking over here?
00:16:04Oh, fuck.
00:16:05That's not good.
00:16:06I was just doing that for publicity.
00:16:07I didn't mean for him to see us.
00:16:09Actually, it was perfect timing.
00:16:10Once that loser's out of the picture, Sabrina and her money are all mine.
00:16:14Who cares about him, mommy?
00:16:16Now you can be with Mr. Preston.
00:16:18Jackson, enough.
00:16:21What do I do?
00:16:22Well, that's it then.
00:16:25Now I need to handle Sabrina.
00:16:26I need to leverage her relationship with Preston, with the tabloids.
00:16:30I'm sure you'll spin the story to whatever suits you.
00:16:33You're really good at that.
00:16:34Oh, I have a parting gift for you.
00:16:37A one-way ticket, so you can get as far away from this family as possible.
00:16:44I know the contract is over, but if I see one stitch of bad press about the Donovans,
00:16:49I will come after you with everything I got.
00:16:52Daniel loves me.
00:16:53He has to understand.
00:16:54This is Hollywood.
00:16:55It's just part of the job.
00:16:58Daniel, I can explain.
00:17:05Daniel, what is this?
00:17:07I can't let her create a public scene.
00:17:11All it takes is one article to get her canceled.
00:17:14Are you going somewhere?
00:17:16Honey, oh, what a coincidence.
00:17:19We were just meeting here to discuss a vacation.
00:17:22Isn't that right, Daniel?
00:17:24A vacation?
00:17:25Finally.
00:17:25You're paying attention.
00:17:27Yeah.
00:17:28I'm going to leave in a few days.
00:17:30Well, thanks for telling your wife.
00:17:32What are we supposed to do without you?
00:17:34Without me cooking and cleaning?
00:17:36That's not what I meant.
00:17:37Whoa.
00:17:38Looks like there's a little bit of drama going on over here.
00:17:40That's fine.
00:17:41Daniel's just decided to abandon us for a bit.
00:17:44Just like any good husband would.
00:17:46Oh, I see.
00:17:47Is it me?
00:17:49Is my presence hurting your ego?
00:17:51I wouldn't put jealousy past him.
00:17:53I always knew you were the self-loathing type.
00:17:55You know what?
00:17:56Maybe I should go.
00:17:57I don't want to get between the two of you.
00:17:58No, please stay.
00:18:00I want you to live with us forever and ever.
00:18:03No, you know what?
00:18:04I'll go.
00:18:05And clearly she wants you.
00:18:08Willing to dance to his tune.
00:18:09Daniel, wait.
00:18:11I won't ever let you go.
00:18:13He won't leave.
00:18:14He promised.
00:18:16It doesn't have to be like this.
00:18:18We could pull up a chair and we can...
00:18:20I'm going to go back.
00:18:25Daniel!
00:18:29It's a better than yours.
00:18:32Yeah.
00:18:33Shh, shh, shh, shh.
00:18:35Oh, good.
00:18:38You're up.
00:18:39Um, after dinner we went to an A-lister party in Bel Air.
00:18:44It's fun.
00:18:46Why don't look at me like that?
00:18:48I'm allowed to have a little bit of fun.
00:18:50Anyways, Preston had a few too many drinks to be alone.
00:18:55How lucky for him.
00:18:56He's got his girl to take care of him when he's drunk.
00:18:59Daniel, whatever you saw at the restaurant, it's not like that.
00:19:02Listen, man, I...
00:19:04I've had every opportunity to sleep with her and nothing happened.
00:19:09You can trust me.
00:19:11Preston, I think you're at the same time.
00:19:14You need to go right now.
00:19:15All right.
00:19:17Oh, hey.
00:19:19Daniel, seriously, listen, man.
00:19:21I...
00:19:21I...
00:19:21When you're gone, I promise I will take the best care of your son and your wife.
00:19:26I'm going to be the best man of the house.
00:19:30Just ignore him.
00:19:31He doesn't know what he's saying.
00:19:33No, I actually think he's the only one speaking exactly what's on his mind.
00:19:36Daniel, you don't have to be so jealous.
00:19:38Jealous?
00:19:39My God, you still don't get it, do you?
00:19:44Whatever, I'm going to bed.
00:19:48You know, I don't think I should be alone.
00:19:55That's all I need to slip into her bed and drive the final wedge between her and the house husband.
00:20:01Daniel, can Preston sleep in here tonight so I can look after him?
00:20:05Oh, my God.
00:20:08God, you're unbelievable.
00:20:13Are you really going to ask your husband if you can sleep with your ex?
00:20:17No, it's not like that.
00:20:19I...
00:20:20What?
00:20:22You know what?
00:20:22Fine.
00:20:25You two look great together.
00:20:27Daniel, I...
00:20:28And to think there was a time I wanted to make our marriage work.
00:20:47Um...
00:20:47I don't know where our kettle or extra towels are.
00:20:55Without me, you can't even find a kettle or a towel.
00:20:58I was never the homemaker.
00:21:05Please, Daniel.
00:21:16I can't think of any time she was there to comfort me.
00:21:22If you're sick, can you go in the other room?
00:21:28I have a press junket tomorrow that I seriously can't miss.
00:21:31Look at her now.
00:21:44Playing house for another man.
00:21:47If only she worked this hard at being a wife when it actually mattered.
00:21:50There he is.
00:22:09God, I wish I could sleep in till 8 a.m.
00:22:12Man, no, I had to wake up and have a 5 a.m. workout.
00:22:15Life of an A-lister, I guess.
00:22:19You got some.
00:22:21Yeah.
00:22:22What do you need?
00:22:22Oh, oh.
00:22:23Yeah, there you go.
00:22:25I'd offer you some of this shit, but...
00:22:26I doubt you'd like it.
00:22:28Yeah, this shit's straight up protein.
00:22:30Bulking up for a new Marvel movie.
00:22:35Hey, uh...
00:22:37You're not pissed off that your wife had to take care of me last night, right?
00:22:41No.
00:22:42A grown man that needs a babysitter?
00:22:45Why would I be threatened by that?
00:22:46It's finally time to make this hack disappear.
00:23:02What's wrong, Jackson?
00:23:04Mr. Eastwood!
00:23:06I want to play with the fish, but my stupid dad won't let me.
00:23:09And it's unfair.
00:23:11That's a shame, huh?
00:23:12You know what?
00:23:12Let me grab it for you, little man.
00:23:14Here we go.
00:23:15Ooh.
00:23:16You know it's not to play with that.
00:23:20You never let me do anything!
00:23:23Come on, it's just a fish tank, Daniel.
00:23:26You guys can afford an aquarium.
00:23:28It's not about the money.
00:23:30It's about him learning how to respect living things.
00:23:32Unfortunately, he's surrounded by bad examples.
00:23:37Yeah?
00:23:37What's that supposed to mean?
00:23:39You're so annoying!
00:23:42Don't push.
00:23:43I said don't push.
00:23:49Go get a book or something.
00:23:51Why don't you get your hands off him?
00:23:53He's a Donovan, not some pathetic manservant like you.
00:23:56God, what the hell?
00:23:56Just show me.
00:24:01Call it a lesson.
00:24:02I'm teaching the kid to go after what he wants.
00:24:03He's not your kid.
00:24:05I wish I was.
00:24:06I hope Mom marries him so you can be gone forever.
00:24:09I hate seeing your stupid face.
00:24:12Ouch.
00:24:12I mean, you just heard your son.
00:24:15So why don't you make this little vacay of yours permanent?
00:24:17Maybe it will be.
00:24:18But until then, I'm still the man of the house.
00:24:22You?
00:24:23Man of the house?
00:24:24Please.
00:24:25You're a pussy in an apron.
00:24:27I'd be embarrassed to call you a maid, much less a dad or a husband.
00:24:31You're washed a pack.
00:24:32Still riding on all your old headlines.
00:24:34How were your latest box office numbers, huh?
00:24:36I heard your agents begging for scraps.
00:24:38I'm a fucking star.
00:24:40A star?
00:24:41A star that needs his ex to bring him back into the spotlight.
00:24:45Jackson, come on.
00:24:46I don't want you hanging around this clown anymore.
00:24:47No, I'm not going.
00:24:49Preston's way cooler than you.
00:24:51Preston, Preston, Preston.
00:25:02You know, there's a reason we say everyone's replaceable in Hollywood.
00:25:20What was that?
00:25:27Daniel!
00:25:28What is happening?
00:25:30It was Dad, Mom.
00:25:31Dad was attacking Mr. Eastwood.
00:25:34What?
00:25:34I'm so scared.
00:25:35That'd be pretty good, babe.
00:25:36What the hell, Daniel?
00:25:38I just wanted to hang out with Jackson.
00:25:39I came in looking for a fight.
00:25:41What?
00:25:41I didn't?
00:25:42Daniel, what the hell is wrong with you?
00:25:44You're acting like a jealous child.
00:25:46I thought you were bigger than this petty shit.
00:25:48He threw a fish tank at me.
00:25:50It's just a fucking fish tank.
00:25:51Grow up.
00:25:52Remember where in the public eye?
00:25:55What if your little outburst was caught by the press?
00:25:57What?
00:25:57Everyone knows your precious Preston attacked me?
00:25:59Maybe I should go.
00:26:02I'm sorry.
00:26:03No.
00:26:04Oh, my God.
00:26:06He's lying.
00:26:08You're a monster.
00:26:10And in front of your son?
00:26:11You have to be kidding.
00:26:13We have to get you to the hospital.
00:26:14Yeah.
00:26:16We'll talk about this when I get home.
00:26:18Come on.
00:26:19Clean this up.
00:26:20Soon, you won't be coming home to me ever again.
00:26:27She's mine now, loser.
00:26:37Hello, 911.
00:26:38What's your emergency?
00:26:40I'm waiting now.
00:26:41I think I had an artery.
00:26:43I need an ambulance now.
00:26:44Now.
00:26:44Now.
00:26:50You did lose a lot of blood.
00:26:56So we're going to have to keep you here overnight to pump you with liquid.
00:27:00To be honest, that's...
00:27:02I could use a break from home.
00:27:03Trouble with the missus?
00:27:07Uh...
00:27:08Yeah.
00:27:09Pretty obvious.
00:27:10Most married folks that come in here are miserable.
00:27:13I shouldn't be saying this, but Sabrina Donovan was here with Preston Eastwood.
00:27:20True love story holding hands, wiping tears.
00:27:24I've been obsessed with him since breaking the ice.
00:27:28You said, um, couple?
00:27:30I wasn't sure, but I checked the visitation logs and it's official.
00:27:35She even helped me reposition Preston when his IV was twisted.
00:27:39She was so sweet.
00:27:40You need us to check on that shoulder for you?
00:27:47No, it's...
00:27:49It's an old wound.
00:27:51I tore it, actually, um, ten years ago.
00:27:55Daniel!
00:27:57Sweet and caring.
00:27:59So Preston's found the Wi-Fi I always wanted.
00:28:02He only had to break her heart to get it.
00:28:05And left me to pick up the pieces.
00:28:07Fuck it.
00:28:14I'm gonna get my shit in y'all.
00:28:18Mr. Lee, I don't know if you remember me.
00:28:20You once liked my short film.
00:28:21I have a script I've been sitting on.
00:28:31It needs the right producer.
00:28:33I know it's a long shot, but I'd be honored if you'd read it.
00:28:38Where have you been?
00:28:39I kept calling.
00:28:40I started to feel like one of my stalkers.
00:28:44Huh?
00:28:48What?
00:28:48I've been busy.
00:28:49Anyways, I thought you were busy entertaining Preston.
00:28:53Seriously?
00:28:54Why does it always have to come back to him?
00:28:55I told you, he's just a friend.
00:28:59Yeah.
00:29:01That's what you want to call it?
00:29:03I...
00:29:03I just...
00:29:04I'm sorry.
00:29:06I...
00:29:07Bringing Preston into our home was probably crossing a line.
00:29:14It is what it is.
00:29:15But I mean, you know how the industry works.
00:29:20You even just hint at a relationship and it stirs up all this publicity.
00:29:25Then I think you should go for it.
00:29:26I mean, you always do what's best for your career.
00:29:29But...
00:29:30I just...
00:29:31I don't want you to be upset with me.
00:29:36Seriously.
00:29:38I...
00:29:38I care about you.
00:29:43I'm not bad.
00:29:46I've known you for 14 years.
00:29:47I know when you're angry.
00:29:49Really?
00:29:49I didn't think you paid attention.
00:29:51I pay attention?
00:29:54Since when do I not pay attention?
00:29:56She signed the papers without reading them.
00:29:59That's all this marriage ever was to her.
00:30:01A headline.
00:30:02A performance.
00:30:05Sabrina.
00:30:09Sabrina, I'm good.
00:30:10You know what?
00:30:11I hate fighting.
00:30:13So, let's just forget about this, okay?
00:30:15I was thinking we could revisit your script.
00:30:22I gave that to you three years ago.
00:30:25You tell me you finally read it?
00:30:27Well, yeah.
00:30:28The first ten pages, but they're good.
00:30:31The lead role is something I can really sink my teeth into.
00:30:34I mean, we have to do this.
00:30:36Me and you.
00:30:37The lead actress and the writer-director.
00:30:39I gave up on that dream of us working together.
00:30:45A long time ago.
00:30:47Well, how about you make us some lattes, and for the next hour, we can just pour ourselves
00:30:52into the script.
00:30:53Just like we used to in film school.
00:30:56There was a time when this would have worked on me.
00:30:59I would have melted in her hands.
00:31:02Now I just want to pack and get out of here.
00:31:05What?
00:31:05I don't know what you do, but I asked the chef to make a latte while you were gone, and
00:31:25it was awful.
00:31:28Well, I've had a lot of experience making it for you.
00:31:29I'll be sure to tell him how you like it.
00:31:31That's not what I meant.
00:31:34I like it when you make it.
00:31:37I'm not going to always be here to make it.
00:31:41I knew it.
00:31:43You are mad that I brought Preston back here.
00:31:45I told you it was just a publicity stunt.
00:31:49God, it's not like our marriage is going to get me on the cover of Vanity Fair.
00:31:54Married people are fucking boring.
00:31:57It's good to know where you stand.
00:31:59No, Daniel.
00:32:01No, that's not what I meant.
00:32:08Look what you made me do.
00:32:11Just leave it.
00:32:13I thought you would appreciate that I read your script.
00:32:17And what?
00:32:18It would make up for all the years of indifference?
00:32:20I'm just trying to do something nice.
00:32:22And look what I get for it.
00:32:25You know what?
00:32:26Forget it.
00:32:26I have a premiere.
00:32:27We'll just talk about this tomorrow.
00:32:31What?
00:32:44Is that how you talk to your mother-in-law?
00:32:47Yeah.
00:32:47Ex-mother-in-law.
00:32:48Not quite.
00:32:49That was the divorce contract.
00:32:51But if you want a clean break, we need to finalize your entertainment contract and our family's NDA.
00:32:56This is showbiz, baby.
00:32:57Remember that.
00:32:58I'll text you the address of where to meet me.
00:33:10I heard she was sneaking Preston Eastwood into her trailer on set.
00:33:15Oh, please.
00:33:16She's always been so secretive.
00:33:18I mean, this is her movie premiere, and where is her husband?
00:33:22Maybe she's embarrassed by him.
00:33:24I read somewhere that he was just a broke writer's assistant.
00:33:28Oh, well, if we want the tea, let's get it from the pot.
00:33:33Come here.
00:33:34Oh.
00:33:37Jackson!
00:33:39We were just talking about your mom.
00:33:41Do you know where she is?
00:33:43Or who she's with?
00:33:44She's with Mr. Eastwood.
00:33:46He's been staying with us.
00:33:47Oh.
00:33:48Really?
00:33:50Do you think Mr. Eastwood might be your new daddy?
00:33:53Oh, I hope so.
00:33:54I really hope so.
00:33:55He's way cooler than my old-born real dad.
00:33:59Speaking of, I don't think we've ever met your real dad.
00:34:02Yeah, he usually stays at home doing chores like a maid.
00:34:11What are you doing here?
00:34:12You never come to these things.
00:34:15Well, that's got to be the husband.
00:34:18Get lost.
00:34:19You embarrass us.
00:34:20Jackson, do not talk to me like that.
00:34:22I'm your father.
00:34:23I wish you never were my dad.
00:34:28Is there a problem?
00:34:34Oh, my God.
00:34:35That's Preston Eastwood.
00:34:37How could Sabrina choose this flap over Preston?
00:34:40If there was a problem, that's none of your business.
00:34:43I wish Preston was my dad.
00:34:44You're a pathetic loser.
00:34:46Zip it, Jackson.
00:34:47You should probably listen to your kid and head out because we're starting to make a scene.
00:34:53I'm just here to talk to Celeste.
00:34:54That's not what I see.
00:34:56You showed up uninvited, in street rags, abused Sabrina's kid and picked a fight with an A-lister.
00:35:03That's the kind of story the press would devour.
00:35:08It doesn't take much to be canceled these days.
00:35:10And then they would praise Sabrina for divorcing your sorry ass.
00:35:15This was all a stunt, wasn't it?
00:35:17You were revolting.
00:35:19No wonder Sabrina turned out the way she did.
00:35:21Hey.
00:35:21Why don't you watch your mouth?
00:35:25Trash like him is always forgetting their place in the world.
00:35:28Yeah.
00:35:29Maybe I should teach him a lesson.
00:35:31Oh, yeah?
00:35:32What lesson is that, Preston?
00:35:33You groveling back to your ex that you cheated on so that you can leech off her career?
00:35:38Hmm.
00:35:42Oh!
00:35:42Oh!
00:35:51What the hell?
00:36:00What happened?
00:36:03Oh, my God!
00:36:04Daniel!
00:36:05What the hell happened?
00:36:07Daniel, you're bleeding.
00:36:08Are you okay?
00:36:10Look at her go.
00:36:12Hollywood's finest.
00:36:13Always performing when there's an audience.
00:36:16It's Daniel.
00:36:17He's a monster.
00:36:18He found out about your premiere and crashed the party.
00:36:21Mommy!
00:36:22Dad came in here and started shouting at me.
00:36:25No.
00:36:26No, that's not true.
00:36:27If Preston weren't here, Daniel would have manhandled Jackson in front of the reporters.
00:36:33Can you imagine the allegations?
00:36:36Daniel.
00:36:37Is that true?
00:36:41Sabrina.
00:36:43Oh!
00:36:45Yeah, I think you got me in the ribs.
00:36:47I think one of them's broken.
00:36:49Sabrina?
00:36:50Honey?
00:36:51We need to help Preston.
00:36:55But Daniel.
00:36:59Imagine choosing that loser for Preston Eastwood.
00:37:13Mommy, please.
00:37:14We can't leave him.
00:37:15I...
00:37:16I have...
00:37:17I have to help Preston.
00:37:26Come on, Jackson.
00:37:30Come on, Jackson.
00:37:34Daniel!
00:37:40I got you.
00:37:42Don't let me go!
00:37:44She's made her choice.
00:37:46There's no going back.
00:37:48We'll see if Preston can give her the life she's grown used to
00:37:50after all these years of me
00:37:52slaving for her.
00:37:54Well, that went even better than I planned.
00:38:04Now we can make a clean break.
00:38:06I wasn't waiting for your permission.
00:38:08There's an Uber waiting for you outside to take you to the airport.
00:38:12Get out of Hollywood.
00:38:14In fact, get out of the country.
00:38:18If I so much as see your name next to my daughters in a tabloid,
00:38:22I will make your life a living hell.
00:38:38Don't worry about it.
00:38:40Just drive.
00:38:52I used to ache for her approval.
00:38:56Now I just want to breathe without her shadow.
00:39:00Seriously?
00:39:02Slow down.
00:39:04Why is he down?
00:39:06I'm gonna go call the doctor, okay?
00:39:08What are you doing? I thought you were hurt.
00:39:12I think I'll pull through.
00:39:20So what are you doing?
00:39:22I don't know what I've always wanted to.
00:39:24Come on. I know you want this.
00:39:26I see the way you look at me.
00:39:28And now that Daniel's gone.
00:39:30We have the house to ourself.
00:39:32I can finally have you in this bedroom.
00:39:34What am I doing?
00:39:46Daniel is still injured.
00:39:48He should be home.
00:39:52Sabrina?
00:39:54Listen, get off.
00:40:04What? Babe, we can finally...
00:40:07Come on.
00:40:08I said get off.
00:40:09What?
00:40:10I need to go take care of Daniel.
00:40:11No, forget about him.
00:40:13Look, I love Jackson, and I'm ready to be the man that you've always wanted.
00:40:18I'm ready to be a dad to that little boy.
00:40:22I mean, come on.
00:40:24Sabrina, your son.
00:40:25Your mother.
00:40:26Even Daniel is pushing us together.
00:40:28What?
00:40:29Look.
00:40:30He's already moved on.
00:40:34No.
00:40:35No.
00:40:36What have I done?
00:40:37Where is he?
00:40:39What about me?
00:40:40You had your chance ten years ago.
00:40:43I need to go take care of my husband.
00:40:45Hello?
00:40:46Excuse me.
00:40:47Excuse me.
00:40:48Excuse me.
00:40:49Hi.
00:40:50Have you seen my husband?
00:40:52Please.
00:40:53He was the one bleeding out.
00:40:54I saw him stumble outside holding his head after he spoke to some older woman.
00:40:59He didn't come back in, though.
00:41:00Oh, no.
00:41:01Daniel, where are you?
00:41:02I'm sorry, but the number you are trying to reach is no longer in service.
00:41:15Please try again later.
00:41:16What have I done?
00:41:18Oh, come on, Daniel.
00:41:31Answer me.
00:41:38He's not gone.
00:41:39I know Daniel wouldn't leave me.
00:41:46He loves me too much to abandon me when I need him the most.
00:41:53No.
00:41:54No.
00:41:57It's not possible.
00:41:59He will be back.
00:42:02No.
00:42:13Boy, it's all assets.
00:42:16Climb zero, Castillo, Jackson.
00:42:18The waves all spousal support.
00:42:21No.
00:42:22No.
00:42:23He can't leave me.
00:42:24He can't do this to me.
00:42:25I won't sign off on him.
00:42:36No.
00:42:38All this time, he's gonna leave me?
00:42:46No.
00:42:47It can't be.
00:42:48It's not a...
00:42:49Honestly, it doesn't matter.
00:42:50My mom will look it over anyways.
00:42:51He loves me.
00:42:52He loves Jackson.
00:42:53He wouldn't just leave us.
00:42:54We're his family.
00:42:55After all these years.
00:42:56Everything we've been through.
00:42:57After all these years.
00:42:58Everything we've been through.
00:42:59Ahem.
00:43:00Ahem.
00:43:01Ahem.
00:43:02Ahem.
00:43:03Ahem.
00:43:04Ahem.
00:43:05Ahem.
00:43:06Ahem.
00:43:07Ahem.
00:43:08Ahem.
00:43:09Yes.
00:43:13It's great drinking water.
00:43:14Oh no.
00:43:15We fly out of Reading got 14an.
00:43:17Ahem.
00:43:18Eh.
00:43:28Ahem.
00:43:30Ahem.
00:43:32I got you.
00:43:38Don't let me go!
00:43:40Was I ever really paying attention?
00:43:47Daniel?
00:43:48No, it's Mom. Is everything okay?
00:43:50You sound panicked.
00:43:51Mom.
00:43:53Mom.
00:43:55Daniel.
00:43:56He just left us.
00:43:59Do you know where he is?
00:44:02We have to find him. We can check the hospital or the...
00:44:05Oh, honey. It's over. Daniel's not coming back.
00:44:10You knew?
00:44:11I'll come over in the morning and explain everything.
00:44:22I'm hungry!
00:44:24Dad! Breakfast should be ready by now!
00:44:28Jackson?
00:44:31I have something to tell you.
00:44:34Your dad...
00:44:37Your dad...
00:44:40He's left us.
00:44:42I'm sorry, but he's not coming back.
00:44:44Yay! He's gone! He's gone!
00:44:47Why would you say that?
00:44:49He was so embarrassing!
00:44:50Even Mr. Eastwood...
00:44:52Mr. Eastwood?
00:44:53What did Preston say?
00:44:55He said a pathetic pussy like that should stick to scrubbing toilets, then raising a young man.
00:45:02He was so lame and boring.
00:45:04Now he's gone!
00:45:06Mr. Eastwood is way cooler.
00:45:08He can be my new dad!
00:45:10Jackson!
00:45:11You have a dad!
00:45:13And he's cared for you for seven years!
00:45:15Yeah, but I hate him!
00:45:23Hello?
00:45:24Do you have any news about Daniel?
00:45:26Ms. Donovan, it's your accountant.
00:45:28I noticed a few unusual transfers.
00:45:30I'm sorry, I don't have the time.
00:45:32Large sums have been wired to someone named Preston Eastwood.
00:45:36Was that done with your approval?
00:45:37No, but I'm not surprised.
00:45:40Flag his name.
00:45:41I want him frozen and cut off.
00:45:45Jackson, I don't want to ever hear you say Preston's name again.
00:45:49Okay?
00:45:50He's not the man you think he is.
00:45:52Your father, the one who raised you and cared about you, is out there.
00:45:56And we need to find him at all costs.
00:45:59What kind of coward abandons his family?
00:46:02It's despicable.
00:46:04I can't do this anymore.
00:46:05I can cancel everything.
00:46:08The interviews and the red carpets.
00:46:10I don't want to be seen.
00:46:13I can't pretend.
00:46:15I just want him back.
00:46:17Honey, time to let him go.
00:46:21You don't love him anyway.
00:46:24Think about what Preston would do for your career.
00:46:29What?
00:46:31How could you say something like that?
00:46:33Of course I love Daniel.
00:46:35He cares for me.
00:46:37He sees me.
00:46:38He was there for me when Preston dropped me like I was nothing.
00:46:42But Daniel is a pathetic nobody.
00:46:46Daniel's my husband.
00:46:47And the father of my son.
00:46:49Yeah, some husband.
00:46:51Abandoning you without a moment's notice.
00:46:52Wanting nothing to do with his child just because the contract ended?
00:46:56Contract?
00:46:58What contract?
00:47:03What are you talking about?
00:47:05Forget it.
00:47:06Forget it.
00:47:07Just pretend I didn't say anything.
00:47:09When I caught you and Daniel at the restaurant the other day, you said that he was going on a trip.
00:47:14Is there something you're not telling me?
00:47:17Please.
00:47:17I just want the truth.
00:47:19Mom.
00:47:21Fine.
00:47:23I will tell you the truth.
00:47:25But promise me you won't get mad.
00:47:29I'll tell you the truth, Sabrina.
00:47:33But no, it was all for your own good.
00:47:35When Preston left you, you were distraught.
00:47:42I had to save you.
00:47:44She's lost without you, Daniel.
00:47:47You've always been there for her.
00:47:49From film school to now.
00:47:51I've seen it.
00:47:53She needs you.
00:47:54Stay.
00:47:55Marry her.
00:47:56Love her.
00:47:57So that she's never alone again.
00:48:00It was all just some sort of obligation?
00:48:09How could you do this to me?
00:48:12I wanted to protect you.
00:48:13You wanted to control me.
00:48:15All because you needed me for my career, my money.
00:48:19Well, it worked, didn't it?
00:48:24You were about to throw yourself off a rooftop.
00:48:28Daniel did what he was meant to do.
00:48:30He kept you together.
00:48:32Where?
00:48:33Where did he go?
00:48:35I know he told you where he went.
00:48:37Where is he?
00:48:38You can do better than him.
00:48:40You are Sabrina Donovan, Hollywood starlet.
00:48:44Believe me, it's for the best.
00:48:46No.
00:48:47He can't be gone.
00:48:48He can't.
00:48:49Yes.
00:48:50He is gone, and he is gone forever.
00:48:53He can't be.
00:48:54He can't be gone.
00:48:55He can't.
00:48:57I'm live at the highly anticipated premiere of How to Tame the Silver Fox that's already
00:49:20generated a considerable buzz for its new writer-director.
00:49:23Speaking of which, there he is now, Mr. Daniel Johnson.
00:49:31Daniel, your film received the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival.
00:49:35What's going through your head tonight?
00:49:38Honestly, I'm just trying not to trip over my own speed.
00:49:41Nobody told me how.
00:49:43Oh, man, how comfortable these designer shoes would be.
00:49:45I've heard this talk of a sequel.
00:49:48Uh, yeah.
00:49:49Um, God, my career has been a long time in the making, and I've been very honest about
00:49:54it, actually.
00:49:55I almost gave up the dream.
00:49:57But London, London lit the fire under me, and I feel like I found my voice, and it really
00:50:03is full steam ahead.
00:50:05Speaking of London, since you're an American writer-director, will you be making your way
00:50:09back to Hollywood?
00:50:12Hollywood.
00:50:14Get out of the country.
00:50:16If I so much as see your name next to my daughters in a tabloid, that will make your life a living
00:50:22hell.
00:50:26Daniel?
00:50:26He's no good at bragging about himself, so I'll do it for him.
00:50:43Daniel is a true auteur and a pretty genius, and it was a privilege to be his leading lady.
00:50:51That's not a light compliment coming from Emily Blake, two-time Golden Globe Award-winning
00:50:55actress and celebrated alumni of the Royal Shakespeare Company.
00:50:59Well, I've heard that, uh, your relationship wasn't just professional.
00:51:03We'll never tell.
00:51:07Oh, my God.
00:51:08Thanks for saving me.
00:51:09She was practically eye-fucking you.
00:51:11I know.
00:51:12Jeez.
00:51:13This is so surreal.
00:51:14I mean, I can't believe this is happening to me.
00:51:16I can.
00:51:17The moment I read your script, I knew you were special.
00:51:22Daniel, enjoy this.
00:51:25And get used to compliments.
00:51:28There's already Oscar buzz.
00:51:29Fuck.
00:51:30Finish me, I know.
00:51:32I feel like I'm dreaming.
00:51:35You okay?
00:51:37You always do that when you're nervous.
00:51:39I know, it's, um, I'll have it.
00:51:42Well, the world's about to meet its new favorite filmmaker.
00:51:46Silver's just got a head start.
00:51:48I know.
00:52:01All press is good press.
00:52:02Daniel becomes an award-winning director, and he's cheating on me with a BAFTA-winning
00:52:12bitch?
00:52:13He can't do this to me.
00:52:16Sabrina.
00:52:17You don't need him.
00:52:19Let him have his 15 minutes of fame.
00:52:20How can he move on to that uptight British bitch?
00:52:23Move on?
00:52:25Please, honey.
00:52:26He is using her.
00:52:29Why do you think he signed the contract in the first place, hmm?
00:52:31He wanted to start his career under the Donovan name.
00:52:34How could you say that?
00:52:35I mean, any, if anything, being with me hurt his career.
00:52:39He's proving that to the whole world.
00:52:42Don't you see it?
00:52:43Sabrina.
00:52:44Look at what you've got.
00:52:46A celebrated career, a mansion in the hills, an adorable kid.
00:52:51Melanie's not whining.
00:52:53And don't forget about Preston, your dream man.
00:52:57You have everything.
00:52:58I don't have him.
00:53:01Mom, I'm hungry.
00:53:02Go have the chef make something.
00:53:04No, I hate what she cooks.
00:53:06And I'm tired of chicken nuggets.
00:53:08Why can't you just hire Daniel back?
00:53:09Don't talk about him like that.
00:53:11He's your dad.
00:53:12No, Preston is my real dad now.
00:53:15Daniel's just a guy who made me snacks and cleaned the toilet.
00:53:18It was fun telling him what to do.
00:53:20When did he get so cruel?
00:53:23You see, even your own son thinks Daniel's a pathetic pushover.
00:53:26A doormat.
00:53:28Daniel's a doormat.
00:53:30Daniel's a doormat.
00:53:31Enough, you little shit.
00:53:34Enough!
00:53:36Just enough!
00:53:38Sabrina?
00:53:39What's gotten into you?
00:53:41Don't tell me you are actually heartbroken over that man.
00:53:44Whoa.
00:53:46What's going on here?
00:53:47This room feels really tense.
00:53:49Mom just yelled at me for no reason.
00:53:51I was just making fun of Daniel.
00:53:52No.
00:53:53I yelled at you because you're making fun of your father.
00:53:56And if you keep talking like that, I'm going to put you in a timeout.
00:53:59Now, it's time that you stop acting like a spoiled little brat.
00:54:06Hey, baby.
00:54:07Are you really going to get mad at Jackson for what?
00:54:09Making fun of that fucking loser?
00:54:11Really?
00:54:11Loser?
00:54:12Yeah.
00:54:13You haven't had a job in over a year, Preston.
00:54:16And you've been mooching off from me and ordering my staff around like you're their boss.
00:54:21That's really, really low.
00:54:27Especially after everything I've done to help you with your brand and keeping it from collapsing in the last year.
00:54:33Come on.
00:54:33We're America's power couple.
00:54:35To be a power couple, you both have to have power.
00:54:38Face it, Preston.
00:54:39You're using me to hide the fact that you're washed up.
00:54:42And you're a fucking thief.
00:54:45Yeah.
00:54:45I know you're bankrupt.
00:54:47You've been stealing from me all year long.
00:54:49I could have you arrested, but I haven't.
00:54:52Because you know what?
00:54:53Honestly, I pity you.
00:54:55It's not like that.
00:54:56Okay?
00:54:57Look, I was just merging things like couples do.
00:54:59I want to marry you.
00:55:01We're legacy Hollywood fucking royalty.
00:55:04What's my birthday?
00:55:05Huh?
00:55:06What kind of flowers do I like?
00:55:08What's my favorite color?
00:55:09My favorite song?
00:55:10Oh, what's my favorite goddamn movie?
00:55:13Oh, oh, wait.
00:55:14What's my fucking middle name?
00:55:16You don't give a shit about me.
00:55:19You don't love me.
00:55:20You don't even know me.
00:55:22This isn't a relationship.
00:55:24This is a publicity stunt.
00:55:26And you know what?
00:55:27I'm done.
00:55:28Get out.
00:55:30I don't want to ever see you again.
00:55:32We're over.
00:55:33We're over.
00:55:35What?
00:55:35Hey, babe, come on.
00:55:36Please.
00:55:37Please, I love you.
00:55:38Just think about it.
00:55:39Think of the press.
00:55:40What this will look like?
00:55:41If I have to call my security, all of this will get a lot uglier.
00:55:46Get out.
00:55:47Hey, just...
00:55:47Now.
00:55:48Just give me your hand.
00:55:49Come on.
00:55:49No.
00:55:50I'm so alone, Daniel.
00:55:54Nobody sees the real thing.
00:55:55I see you, Sabrina.
00:55:57I see all of you.
00:55:59And you're never going to be alone again.
00:56:01He truly knew me.
00:56:06He loved me.
00:56:08Every flaw.
00:56:10Every fear.
00:56:11Contract or not.
00:56:13He truly loved me.
00:56:15I saved you from social suicide.
00:56:17Saved me?
00:56:19You don't even know how ironic that is.
00:56:22Daniel saved me from the ledge.
00:56:24And he saved me from you.
00:56:27Security!
00:56:29Security!
00:56:30Come on.
00:56:31Just let's talk about this.
00:56:32No.
00:56:33Come on.
00:56:34Celeste, do something!
00:56:36Come on.
00:56:36Sabrina!
00:56:37Come on, Sabrina!
00:56:39Was that really necessary?
00:56:41I mean, he still is a Hollywood A-lister and people's sexiest man alive.
00:56:45Is that all you care about?
00:56:47The fame?
00:56:48The headlines?
00:56:49The brand deals?
00:56:50God.
00:56:51You're supposed to be my mother first, not some money-grubbing manager.
00:56:56Sabrina, you are being dramatic.
00:56:58Of course I care about you.
00:57:01I love you.
00:57:03Then prove it.
00:57:05If you ever want me in front of a camera again, then you will help me get Daniel back.
00:57:09You'll have to forgive me, Mr. Lee.
00:57:23I'm kind of in shock right now.
00:57:26In film school, we were literally told to watch every single film that you ever produced.
00:57:30I mean, you know this.
00:57:32You're a legend.
00:57:34I appreciate it, Daniel.
00:57:35All right, let me cut to the chase.
00:57:37You're a powerhouse-sitting idol in the wrong country.
00:57:40I appreciate the compliment, but I mean, I'm doing all right.
00:57:42I got projects.
00:57:42Come on!
00:57:43You're built for billion-dollar franchises, Hollywood blockbusters, the one that gets made in L.A.,
00:57:48not London.
00:57:49That's where you belong.
00:57:50To be honest, I already did L.A.
00:57:54It didn't really end well.
00:57:55Let me guess.
00:57:56A girl?
00:57:57If by a girl, he means Hollywood royalty, Sabrina Donovan.
00:58:02You don't walk away from a gift like yours over some heartbreak.
00:58:05You can become a household name, and I can get you there.
00:58:09You're giving me a lot to think about.
00:58:11Three-picture deal.
00:58:12Two hundred million dollar budget each.
00:58:14Creative control and final cut approval.
00:58:16I don't know what to say.
00:58:17I'll just say yes.
00:58:18You have my number.
00:58:20Just don't keep me waiting.
00:58:22Just remember, Daniel.
00:58:23You can't run away from the past.
00:58:25You have to face it and tell the fuck off.
00:58:38Hey, it's been a while.
00:58:41Can we talk?
00:58:43Daniel, can you give us a hint about your first movie with Crazy Maple Studio?
00:58:47Of course, it's about a man who gets fucked over by America's sweetheart and comes out on top.
00:58:52Is this a personal story where we get a hint at who the mystery woman is?
00:58:57Oh, she knows who she is.
00:59:02I'll leave it at that.
00:59:06You arrogant little shit.
00:59:08I told you, if you ever set foot in this fucking country, I would unleash a world of hell.
00:59:18It's Celeste Donovan.
00:59:19I need a favor.
00:59:21I need you to track down Daniel Johnson and find out where he'll be around 8 o'clock tonight.
00:59:27It's time for a little reunion with Hollywood's newest hotshot.
00:59:31Mom?
00:59:32What are you doing?
00:59:33Did you just break my TV?
00:59:38Can you give us a name for your upcoming film?
00:59:42You know how I'm supposed to do that?
00:59:43You've been so kind, though.
00:59:45It's called, You Drive Me Crazy.
00:59:50He's back.
00:59:52Why didn't you tell me?
00:59:54Honey, I didn't want you spiraling again.
00:59:57I'm not a fragile little girl anymore.
00:59:59I need to get on that movie.
01:00:01Absolutely not.
01:00:03You're not working for your ex-husband.
01:00:05If you don't get me an audition, then I will get a manager who will.
01:00:08Honey, I'm just looking out for you.
01:00:10He still loves me.
01:00:13He has to.
01:00:15I just need to talk to him.
01:00:17Let him go.
01:00:21Mom.
01:00:22Honey, I...
01:00:25You know I just want what's best for you, right?
01:00:28I just don't want to see my little girl hurt again.
01:00:33I love you.
01:00:35I love you, too.
01:00:38Here we go.
01:00:41This is, um...
01:00:42It's another movie deal.
01:00:44I'll tell you about it after.
01:00:45Okay.
01:00:52Did you get his location?
01:01:03The Oaks.
01:01:048 p.m.
01:01:05After I'm done with him, Daniel Johnson won't just be blacklisted by Hollywood.
01:01:10He'll be erased from Sabrina's life forever.
01:01:13She's not protecting me.
01:01:24She's protecting her business.
01:01:26And I'm just a pawn.
01:01:28But if she wants a scandal, she'll get one.
01:01:32So nice having you back.
01:01:34And I don't just mean from the UK.
01:01:36Yeah, it's been a rough couple years, hasn't it?
01:01:38A couple?
01:01:39Well, Daniel, it was ten years of you slaving away for those people, if you can even call them that.
01:01:45But you're healthy now.
01:01:46And I'm at the top of my career.
01:01:48I mean, yeah, there was a time that I loved Sabrina, but I really thought I could make it work.
01:01:53The marriage, the kids.
01:01:56I mean, we really tried.
01:01:57I thought I could make it go for it, but, um...
01:02:00It's over.
01:02:02It's over.
01:02:03I mean, let her chase whatever fantasy she thinks Preston Yuswick can offer.
01:02:09Oh, you haven't heard?
01:02:18She dumped him.
01:02:19It was all over People Magazine.
01:02:21She ended it when his star faded.
01:02:25Oh my god, what?
01:02:31Daniel!
01:02:35Stop!
01:02:35Stop!
01:02:35Sabrina, what are you doing here?
01:02:45I'm here to help you.
01:02:47Sabrina, you're making a scene.
01:02:49Let's go home.
01:02:50Sabrina?
01:02:51How could you?
01:02:52What?
01:02:52I just came to ask Daniel if he'd let you audition, but he said no.
01:02:56I begged and pleaded.
01:02:58Stop lying!
01:02:59I saw you bribe the waiter to drug Daniel's drink.
01:03:04And I'll bet you called the paparazzi, too, to catch him drugged out of his mind and ruin him.
01:03:09My god, you're disgusting.
01:03:11I'm a manager, Daniel.
01:03:13Not anymore.
01:03:15Why did you become such a conniving, scheming snake?
01:03:19I don't even know who you are anymore.
01:03:21I'm your mother.
01:03:24I only want what's best for you.
01:03:27What's best for me?
01:03:30You've been controlling my life ever since you knew you could profit from it.
01:03:35That all ends today.
01:03:40You're fired.
01:03:42Fired.
01:03:42No.
01:03:47No.
01:03:51No.
01:03:52You can't do this to me.
01:03:54Please.
01:03:55Please, sweetie.
01:03:56I have dedicated my life to you.
01:03:57You dedicated your life to money and to fame.
01:04:02I was just who you used to get to it.
01:04:05You think you can survive on sheer talent?
01:04:08There's a thousand girls more talented than you waiting for their shot.
01:04:11I made you.
01:04:12You'd be nothing without me.
01:04:17I think she'll do just fine.
01:04:25We're done here, Mom.
01:04:27If you want any chance to be in Jackson's life or in mine, you'll leave now.
01:04:34Without another word.
01:04:35I have something to say.
01:04:50I'm sorry, Daniel.
01:04:52I'm sorry I took you for granted all of those years.
01:04:55I'm sorry I let my mom manipulate and use you.
01:05:00I'm sorry I brought Preston into our home and poisoned our son towards you.
01:05:07Apologize to your father.
01:05:11Do I have to?
01:05:13Who raised you?
01:05:15Cared for you?
01:05:18Packed your lunches when I was on set?
01:05:21Laid with you when you had nightmares and coddled you when you were sick?
01:05:25He did.
01:05:26He loved you.
01:05:28But you treated him like he was nothing.
01:05:30I was wrong.
01:05:32Jackson, he gave us ten years of his life and we abused it.
01:05:37And now there is nothing we can do to take that back.
01:05:40I'm sorry, Dad.
01:05:45It's going to be okay, son.
01:05:47I still love you.
01:05:49Okay.
01:05:50Come on, Jackson.
01:05:51Let's go.
01:05:58I'm sorry, Daniel.
01:06:00For everything.
01:06:10I know that look, Daniel.
01:06:13You're thinking of going back to them.
01:06:17I just didn't know it would be this hard.
01:06:20They hurt you, Daniel.
01:06:23They tore you to pieces and then just expected you to come running back.
01:06:29People can change.
01:06:32But that doesn't change the past.
01:06:34And the Oscar goes to Daniel Johnson for his original screenplay, Loving Her.
01:06:45Daniel!
01:06:46Daniel!
01:06:46Daniel!
01:06:47Let's talk to us.
01:06:48Let's hear it, Daniel.
01:06:48Daniel, is it true that the script that won you Oscars for both writing and directing sat on a shelf for ten years?
01:06:54Yes.
01:06:55I'll admit I got a little sidelined, but I think I found my way back.
01:07:00But, okay, I'll tell you this.
01:07:04I don't think you can truly love someone else until you love yourself.
01:07:14Way to go, John!
01:07:15Thank you so much for considering me for this part.
01:07:36We'll keep in touch.
01:07:36How many more do we have today?
01:07:44Forty, sir.
01:07:46Jeez.
01:07:46Hey, boy!
01:07:48How are we looking?
01:07:49Still digging, man.
01:07:50Um, no one's cracked the lead yet.
01:07:54I mean, this film lives or dies by the female lead.
01:07:57All right, here's the deal.
01:07:58The studio is on my ass looking to lock in the lead today.
01:08:02Today?
01:08:03Are you fucking kidding me?
01:08:04That's why I love you, man.
01:08:06Cool under pressure.
01:08:07This movie is going to blow the roof off.
01:08:13Oh, my God.
01:08:14All right, just bring in the next one.
01:08:16But that would be...
01:08:18Emily Blake.
01:08:22Emily.
01:08:22Amazing, as always.
01:08:30You flew in all the way from London for this?
01:08:33Please.
01:08:34I wasn't going to miss a shot who auditioned for the great Daniel Johnson.
01:08:38How's LA treating you?
01:08:40Oh, my God.
01:08:41Less tea, but way more traffic.
01:08:44But I am...
01:08:45I'm glad to be back.
01:08:48Well, it's no English countryside.
01:08:49Yeah.
01:08:50But it suits you.
01:08:53You definitely belong here.
01:08:57I do miss you, though.
01:08:59It was fun.
01:09:01Playing the part.
01:09:02British starlet.
01:09:04American director.
01:09:06I kept waiting for us to become something real.
01:09:10Waiting for us to become something real.
01:09:13I'm sorry, Emily.
01:09:15It just cost me, and we'll call it even.
01:09:19You were amazing, as always.
01:09:21It's just...
01:09:22It's just...
01:09:23It's just not quite what I'm looking for.
01:09:27I never was, was I?
01:09:30Anyways...
01:09:31Got a few more auditions while I'm in town.
01:09:34Maybe I'll see you around?
01:09:35Give me a coffee, and you know what?
01:09:50Go get one for yourself, too.
01:09:53And be generous with the sugar.
01:09:55Oh, my God.
01:10:01What am I going to do?
01:10:09That was quick.
01:10:10Oh, my God.
01:10:11What am I going to do?
01:10:12What are you doing here?
01:10:22I came to audition.
01:10:27Did you bring any representation?
01:10:28No.
01:10:30I fired my manager, remember?
01:10:33I'm starting fresh.
01:10:35Right, um...
01:10:36Hi.
01:10:40I'm Sabrina Donovan.
01:10:44Don't let me go!
01:10:46I got you.
01:10:47I'll never let you go.
01:10:50Are you okay?
01:10:52Yeah.
01:10:52It's an old wound that, um...
01:10:55never really healed.
01:10:58I understand.
01:10:59Daniel Johnson.
01:11:06Nice to meet you.
01:11:09Please.
01:11:18Whenever you're ready.
01:11:29sanctified.
01:11:41Help me.
01:11:48Love you.
01:11:50We love you.
01:11:52Bye-bye.
